BIG hearted Mrs Brown’s Boys star Brendan O’Carroll has come to the rescue of two Irish travellers stranded in Florida.

Dylan Hennessy and his girlfriend Aoife Lynch had just arrived in the sunshine state and checked into the Wow hotel, near International Drive, when a receptionist allegedly gave a key to burglars who stole everything they had - cash, credit cards, passports, clothes and gadgets.

Dylan phoned RTE Radio 1’s Liveline show to tell host Joe Duffy of their desperate situation.

Then comedian Brendan O’Carroll, who lives in Florida some of the year, called the show to offer his help and has a friend on the way to give the pair some cash and help them contact the Irish Embassy.

Brendan said: “Dylan is lucky in many ways. Whatever happened to him is terrible, but it happened to in the right place because there’s plenty of Irish people, Irish and English, who’ll be willing to help.

“I can hear how upset his mam Fiona Hennessy is and I can hear how as a 22-year-old how un-upset Dylan is.

“If necessary I have somebody who can get down to them there, look after them and give them a couple of hundred dollars.

“I know if he was coming home the Irish Embassy would issue a one day passport.

“I’ll get the details off you and get someone down there to look after them and they’ll take it from there to make sure he has what he needs.

“As soon as I heard the programme I rang Florida to make sure the girl I had in mind is standing by.

“It it was Eric, who’s 22 as well, I’d be on the first plane out to wherever it was.

“It’s a terrifying thing when the kids are away and you feel like there’s nothing you can do.”

Dylan, who has job interviews lined up with Golds Gym and the YMCA, said: “The only reason we have clothes is because I caught your man actually taking that last bag.
